Blue could be a winter coat
Or the sea, Lake Maureen, a window
Or a downpour on my street
This bit of yellow could be a leaf
Or a beam of light, a girl in a taxi

And I think of you in the colors of the world
And I did meet you in the brotherhood of man
When I was traveling a long way from my home
And you are a friend of mine

Black is the piano you play at school in the lobby
Looking out at the gray and orange
Green grass on your feet

And I think of you in the colors of the world
And I did meet you in the brotherhood of man
When I was traveling a long way from my home
And you are a friend of mine

And I think of you in the colors of the world
And I did meet you in the brotherhood of man
When I was traveling a long way from my home
And you are a friend of mine

And I think of you in the colors of the world
And I did meet you in the brotherhood of man
When I was traveling a long way from my home
And you are a friend of mine
